Ferran Torres, who opened his time in Paris with a series of impressive goals, today finds himself in a period of scarcity which calls into question his role within PSG. After scoring seven times in six appearances, the young Spanish striker went a month without scoring, as indicated by information relayed by L'Équipe via ActuL1. This break in performance stands in stark contrast to his initial impact and raises the question of his place in Luis Enrique's game.
Upon his arrival, Torres had justified the payment of 50 million euros by the Parisian club. His first matches, where he found the net at a rate of one goal in two, had reassured the coach and the supporters about his potential. However, the absence of goals in recent weeks shows that the Spaniard's influence in the Parisian attack still remains limited. Luis Enrique now expects him to participate more in movements, associations and offensive circuits, even when he does not finish.
The departure of Ousmane Dembélé, Torres' main passer since his arrival, worsened the situation. Without this partner, the attacker has lost a chance creator capable of placing him in decisive areas. To compensate for this loss, the coach considered making Torres a false number 9, a role which would allow him to contribute to the construction of the game and open up spaces for the other attackers. This position requires him to have a broader influence than that of a simple finisher.
In this context, the question of the sustainability of its investment arises. PSG committed a significant sum to attract Torres, and the club now expects him to regain his effectiveness without Dembélé, while becoming a structuring element in Luis Enrique's system. The next few matches will be decisive in determining whether the Spaniard can consolidate his role and justify the value of his transfer.
